A friend of mine wanted a cheap gaming system for him and his kids as a Christmas present a year and a half ago. I ordered him a basic Vostro 200 (dual core, one optical, one HD), an ATI 3870 and a couple of SATA to Molex adapters. It has been going strong ever since on the stock 300w power supply, no instability whatsoever.
I believe the stock Vostro 200 power supply at the time had two spare SATA power connectors, for those that wanted to know. Not sure about the 220. I think they might have a 6 pin PCI-E on them already.
